Customer Reviews

Great Way to Learn!!!I learned how to bead from this dvd! Now I'm making all sorts of necklaces, bracelets and earrings. At first I referred to it quite often when I needed to review crimping, making a loop or a wrapped loop, etc. Diane is a great instructor. She explains everything in detail, not just once, but several times. First she gives you a simple example to do and then builds your skill with repetition as you make a piece of jewelry. No through away projects here. August 18, 2012

3 Great ProjectsThis is an excellent video because it teaches jewelry making basics for earrings, a necklace and a bracelet. Skills such as adding clasps and findings, using jumprings, and adding a leather cord are all shown, and with Diane's instruction, are actually easy to create! This is an excellent DVD, one that teaches important basic jewelry making skills that are essential to successful jewelry design, and can't be learned in the wire wrapping or even the new art of making earrings video. A must have for the beginning Jewel Schooler, I hope JS keeps this important video -- one that opens the world of jewelry making with GEMSTONES -- in stock! August 30, 2014

Easy, Easy, Easy!!The books are OK, but when you see someone do the beading it is so much better and easier to understand the how and what.
The books take you a step further but this is a must for the beginner beader. August 30, 2014

Renewed my love of beading.I bought this video in a set of 4 when they were on sale. I was a flower child in the '60s and used to do beading for my friends and family. I sold some too, but only to people I knew. I hadn't given this a thought until I saw the videos on JTV and thought I'd give it a go again. These Jewel School videos are great! I just wish they would do more. I'd buy every one! I never wire wrapped before and after watching the video twice (I also watched it while I was doing it), my first wire wrap wasn't too shabby. If I hadn't bought the videos, I'd still be watching reruns on TV! August 30, 2014

Good instructionI bead, but haven't learned the wire wrapping techniques. This is a good starter DVD with some nice beginner projects. I haven't bought the wire yet, but plan to and will look at wrapping some of the pretter beads and cabs that I have sitting around. August 30, 2014

Although I don't do beadingIt's a great hobby for a family member and I purchased her the other dvd's on wire wrapping; so I thought I'd get her the beading dvd also to go along with the other gifts I sent. I did not see this personally so I can't comment because I did the bill to and ship to addresses. She tells me that she really liked this beading dvd. August 07, 2009
